God of Pets

Chapter 610 Equivalent Exchange
Ximen Bing was horrified. She didn't know how Chen Guan could touch her wrist and cause her body to become uncontrollable. This was even more terrifying than being chased by the Divine Martial King earlier.

"Who...who are you..." Simon asked anxiously.

Chen Guan placed the immobile Ximen Bing beside him like a puppet, then looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You still know to ask who I am? I thought you could come and go as you pleased and didn't care who I was at all."

Ximen Bing forced a smile: "I was forced to do this. As you can see, the Divine Martial King is after me, so I had no choice but to hide here."

“But you didn’t ask me if I wanted you to hide,” Chen Guan said calmly.

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty just now. I am Ximen the Drunkard's daughter. You saved me today, and I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future," Ximen Bing said honestly.

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Chen Guan said coldly.

“Tell me where I went wrong, and I’ll correct it right now.” Simon Bing clearly knew how to behave, and he didn’t try to argue. He seemed to know that he was willing to correct his mistakes.

“Giving favors is the same as doing business. When a nobody like me helps you, I’m risking my life in a business deal. And now that the deal is done, you want to buy on credit. Don’t you think that’s wrong?” Chen Guan said.

Simon Bing looked at her strangely; she had never heard anyone describe Shi En as doing business.

However, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Upon hearing this, Ximen Bing quickly said, "I have a peerless pet on me, which I'll give to my benefactor as a token of my gratitude."

"I risked my life for this business, and all I can earn is a rare pet? Then my life is worthless," Chen Guan sneered.

“I have another peerless treasure that I can offer to my benefactor now,” Ximen Bing hurriedly added.

"Is that the sword from earlier?" Chen Guan asked.

"No, no, without that flying sword, I would have no way to escape far in the Tianyuan Sea. I cannot give it to you for the time being."

After a pause, Ximen Bing continued, "During the battle with Shenwu King and the others, my other pets and treasures were destroyed, so I really don't have anything more to offer now. I will definitely repay you handsomely when I return."

"Why do you like to buy on credit so much? This is a small business, I can't afford to buy on credit," Chen Guan sighed.

"I can give you my peerless pet and my peerless treasure first. You are a magnanimous person, please help me this once. As soon as I get out of trouble, I will immediately give you many more treasures..." Ximen Bing still wanted to persuade Chen Guan.

"Don't make me repeat myself," Chen Guan said coldly. "This business wasn't brought to you by me; you insisted on doing business with me. Now you've gotten the benefits but don't want to pay the price. Do you think there's such a good thing in the world?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Simon Bing asked helplessly.

“It’s easy. It’s an equal exchange. I saved your life, so you have to give me something of equal value in return.” Chen Guan looked Ximen Bing up and down and said, “Since you don’t have anything of equal value on you, I think you’re not bad looking, barely acceptable. You can use yourself to pay off the debt and become my ninth concubine.”

Ximen Bing's eyes widened immediately, and he felt like cursing: "What do you mean by being a concubine, or even the ninth concubine? This person is shameless."

“My benefactor, my meager beauty is hardly worthy of your attention. How about this, you come with me, and once we return, I will immediately present you with all sorts of treasures for you to choose from, which will absolutely satisfy you.” Ximen Bing suppressed the urge to curse and forced a smile as he spoke.

"Have you ever seen a stupid thief who takes hostages to the police station to demand money?" Chen Guan asked.

“No.” Simon shook his head.

"So you mean I should put on a show for you? Take you back, and then let your dad, the drunkard Simon, kill me?" Chen Guan said, pursing his lips.

"How could that be? You saved my life, not kidnapped me. How could I repay kindness with enmity?" Ximen Bing quickly retorted. "Stop wasting my breath. I'll give you two choices. One is to become my ninth concubine in the future." Chen Guan paused here, not continuing.

"What about the other way?" Simon asked in a deep voice. She knew that the other way was definitely not a good one either.

“Another way is to repay the debt with your Ximen family’s ‘Ghost Immortal Steps’. In exchange for your life, you’ll still make a profit,” Chen Guan said seriously.

Ximen Bing finally understood that he had just escaped one wolf's den and entered another, a tiger's lair even more ruthless and greedy than the Divine Martial King.

"The 'Ghost Immortal Step' is my father's unique skill, and I don't know it either," Ximen Bing said with a bitter face.

“Then you can be my ninth concubine. We have a bridal sedan chair ready, so let’s be a pair of wild lovers right here.” Chen Guan said, reaching out to pull at Ximen Bing’s clothes.

"No...no...I'll give you the Ghost Immortal Steps..." Ximen Bing cried out in alarm.

"No, I've changed my mind. I've been irritable lately, and none of my eight concubines can serve me. It's more worthwhile to have a ninth concubine than that ghost fairy..." Chen Guan continued to tug at Ximen Bing's clothes. After a couple of attempts, he couldn't open them, so he just ripped them open, revealing her undergarments and her fair, smooth shoulders.

“My benefactor…my benefactor…listen to me…you can have as many ordinary beauties as you want…but my family’s unique ‘Ghost Immortal Steps’ is one of a kind in the world. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another one like it…” Ximen Bing shouted anxiously.

“That makes some sense. Now that you mention it, ‘Ghost Immortal Steps’ does seem to be worth more than you,” Chen Guan said thoughtfully.

"You're definitely worth more than me. How can I compare to the peerless 'Ghost Immortal Steps'? That's a secret technique that even the ten great families covet. If you learn it, you'll be like a tiger with wings, becoming a famous figure throughout the world. What kind of woman wouldn't you have then?"

"Don't even mention one concubine, even if you had ten or eight, all the beauties in the world would be vying to throw themselves into your arms..." Ximen Bing got more and more excited as he spoke.

“That makes sense. Alright, I'll accept the ‘Ghost Immortal Steps’ as payment for saving you,” Chen Guan nodded.

“My benefactor, please release me first, and I will give you the recipe for the Ghost Immortal Steps right away,” Ximen Bing said.

"Let you go? Your flying sword is so fast, if you run away, do you think I can catch you? Let's just say that." Chen Guan said calmly.

“The recipe and its key points are numerous. If it is not written down, there will be unclear parts, and you may run into problems when practicing it.” Ximen Bing said sincerely, “My benefactor, you saved my life. I am grateful to you. How could I think of you in such a way?”

“That makes sense. You shouldn’t be the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity, right?” Chen Guan asked Ximen Bing.

“Definitely not,” Simon Bing said confidently.

"Alright then." Chen Guan reached out and placed his hand on Ximen Bing's shoulder, relieving the crippling fist that had been inflicted on her.

Simon Bing suddenly felt a jolt in his body, as if something inside him had been opened up, and he regained consciousness and control over his body.

hum!
Ximen Bing moved like a phantom, instantly bursting out of the ghost sedan chair and escaping hundreds of meters away. He then summoned the flying sword and rode it like a sword immortal soaring through the air.

"It's not even dark yet... Stop thinking about good things all day... Go home and sleep... You can have anything in your dreams..." Ximen Bing proudly flew away on his sword.

But after flying only a short distance, Ximen Bing suddenly felt his eyes and mouth twitching uncontrollably, his head throbbing with pain, and his body going out of control, causing him to fall headfirst off the flying sword.
